1 FALL The changing look of York Region Have a say in our future Seeing the forest and the trees Keeping residents on the move The pulse on health Taking Highway 404 further north Say Yes to York! Earlier this year, York University s bid for a new campus in York Region took a major step forward with the official announcement of a proposed campus site in the City of Markham. In September, York Regional Council unanimously approved up to $25 million in funding to help ensure the campus can become a reality, once approved by the Ontario Government. Community, economic and social benefits originating from a post-secondary investment are substantial in both the short and long term for York Region. Once in place, a new York Region campus will provide a strong economic stimulus for other commercial, residential and retail uses. The Region s diverse business sectors will benefit significantly from the influx of students on work placements and internships. Why York Region needs a university York Region is one of the fastest-growing major urban areas in Ontario 59.7 per cent of young people in York Region go on to attend university; the highest percentage of any region in the province We are the only region of its size in North America without a university campus We have a large population of young people (18 to 21) and the projected growth in this age group is larger than any other in Ontario Access York: Accessible formats or communication supports are available upon request. We need your help! A new York University campus is an important investment in York Region s people, education and economy.

2 York Region continues to grow and prosper When travelling across York Region, you see evidence of great change. York Region s nine municipalities have evolved with new neighbourhoods, office buildings, shopping centres, roads and highways, public transit and even subway station construction. Less visible is the tremendous progress made to infrastructure needed before anything can be built. Think of the pipes delivering clean water to your tap, water treatment plants, sewers and waste management facilities. York Region s long-term plan, Vision 2051, sets out a blueprint of how the Region will grow. The planning supports billions of dollars of investments in infrastructure such as sewers, subway extensions, public transit and affordable housing. The Region and our municipal partners are creating sustainable and attractive high density centres and efficient corridors, suitable for vehicles, transit, cyclists and pedestrians. To support planned, approved growth as outlined in the provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the four Regional Centres (Markham Centre, Newmarket Centre, Richmond Hill/Langstaff Gateway and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre) and the Regional Corridors (Yonge Street, Highway 7, Davis Drive and Green Lane) are designed to achieve the greatest mix of uses, heights and development densities in the Region. The development of the Centres and Corridors combines the planning of urban, pedestrian-friendly and sustainable communities. These areas are being designed to have everything at one s doorstep, within walking distance or just a short ride by transit. To learn more and explore the Region s Centres and Corridors, please visit york.ca/candc Clockwise from the top left: Newmarket Centre, Richmond Hill/Langstaff Centre, Markham Centre and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. 2 Contact us at Access York
3 Your community, Your say. York Region is planning for the future and wants your input The Regional Municipality of York continues to plan for the future and is looking for your input and ideas. York Region is expected to grow to 1.79 million people and 900,000 jobs by To accommodate this growth and be at the forefront of best practices, York Region reviews and updates a number of its long-term strategic plans. Three plans under review are: The Transportation Master Plan establishes the vision for transportation services, assesses existing transportation system performance, forecasts future travel demand and defines projects and strategies to address road, transit and active transportation needs. The Water and Wastewater Master Plan update ensures water and wastewater systems meet current and future demands and are able to provide safe, cost efficient and reliable service to the Region s communities. The Regional Official Plan outlines the policies of York Region to guide growth management, economic, environmental and community planning decisions. Your community, your say. Input from residents and the business community is key to the success of these updates. Comments and feedback on any or all of these plans can be given through york.ca, social media and at open houses.

The Highway 7 East rapidway is now open from Bayview Avenue to South Town Centre Boulevard and the remaining section to Warden Avenue will open by the end of the year. Paving of Davis Drive will be complete this year and the vivastation at Parkside Drive/Longford Drive is well underway. In the City of Vaughan, Highway 7 West is being widened and utility work continues in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre. Plans to move ahead for the next phase of rapidway on Highway 7 West have begun.

Follow vivanext on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Safety on our roads is a shared responsibility As part of an ongoing Pedestrian Safety Campaign, The Regional Municipality of York and York Regional Police promote respect between motorists and pedestrians to help reduce the number of collisions, injuries and fatalities on Regional roads. Safety on Regional roads is a shared responsibility. With winter just around the corner, the hours of sunlight will be fewer and pedestrian visibility during high travel times will become more difficult. To become more visible, pedestrians are reminded to wear bright, reflective clothing and to always cross at signalized intersections to help ensure you are visible at night. Motorists are reminded to obey posted speed limits, leave adequate space between yourself and other vehicles and to be aware of pedestrians around your vehicle. York Region has made a number of improvements to our roads to help ensure pedestrian safety, including: Nearly all intersections in York Region have been equipped with pedestrian countdown signals Extended crossing times at all intersections Installation of zebra markings at 100 intersections across the Region, with 150 more planned each year for the next four years For safety tips or more information about the Pedestrian Safety Campaign, please visit york.ca/trafficsafety York Regional Council has committed $1.2 billion towards the 10-year roads construction program. York Region s fleet grows with our communities York Region s fleet service includes approximately 300 vehicles, trailers, construction vehicles and various other equipment, including first responder vehicles. Each year, these vehicles drive more than 4.4 million kilometres. York Region s diverse services require multifunction, specialized equipment. Recent purchases include litter collection equipment and street sweepers to help keep our roads clean. This winter, new snowplows with liquid anti-ice systems will be added to our fleet to help keep roadways clear and safe while reducing road salt use. York Region ensures repairs and preventative maintenance are completed as quickly as possible and operate 24/7 to keep essential vehicles, such as snow plows, line painting trucks and construction equipment operating. New snowplow ready for the winter ahead. Rapidway stations, with real-time transit information and heated shelters are designed for safety, convenience and comfort. Zebra markings and countdown signals at intersections increase safety. 6 Talk with us on Visit us on Instagram.com/YorkRegionGovt 7

9 Sizing up York Region s elevated water tanks York Region s elevated water tanks range in size from four megalitres to seven megalitres, or roughly the volume of two-to-three Olympic sized swimming pools. The tanks store drinking water and water to help fight fires. With 29 elevated water tanks across York Region, each is strategically placed to equalize water pressure throughout the municipal water system. Large pumps are used to fill these tanks with water taken from Lake Ontario, Lake Simcoe and groundwater sources. Typically, an elevated tank will refill at least once each day. Until recently, the water towers were painted completely white, but due to outside condensation, the lower, funnel-like section was often stained and required exterior cleaning. Painting the outer surface of the bottom portion dark blue minimizes staining and costs associated with cleaning the exterior of the tank. Visit york.ca/water for information on the municipal water supply. Over the last few months, York Region has created a number of water advertisements to bring awareness to everyday situations affecting our environment. For information on York Region s environmental initiatives, please visit york.ca/environment York Region s Queensville Sideroad Elevated Tank located in the Town of East Gwillimbury. 10 Talk to us on
